Ticks are complex parasites and the most relevant vectors of potentially lethal diseases to bovines, promoting significant losses in the cattle-raising sector. The anti-tick vaccines currently available induce specific antibody responses, but show variable outcomes of protection between animals and short-lived immune responses, indicating the need to develop more efficient vaccines. CD4 T…
Ticks are important vectors of diseases to humans and animals and promote significant losses in the cattle production sector, while also induce expressive inconvenience to dogs owners. The control of tick infestations has been done with acaricides, but the selection of resistant parasites and environmental contamination point towards the need for alternative methods of control. Currently …
Ticks are obligate hematophagous arthropod parasites that feed on the blood of every class of vertebrates and they can transmit a variety of infectious agents. During the parasitic stage, ticks inoculate saliva into the feeding site in attempting to counteract the host protective barriers and facilitate their feeding and propagation. Tick saliva contains a cocktail of potent anti-haemosta…

The tick Rhipicephalus microplus (cattle tick) is an obligate hematophagous arthropod, known worldwide for infesting cattle and causing potentially lethal diseases such as cattle tick fever diseases. Such infestations and diseases affect bovine livestock activity, causing a worldwide economic impact estimated at about $18 billion/year, as they decrease meat and milk production and comprom…

Cattle production is a significant component in the global livestock industry due to its contribution to both meat and dairy production. Rhipicephalus microplus, the cattle tick, inflicts substantial economic losses on the cattle industry in many tropical and sub-tropical areas of the globe. Current control methods for R. microplus are reliant on acaracides and other chemoprophylactic/the…

Ticks are important vectors of diseases to animals and promote significant losses in the cattle production sector. The vaccines currently available against ticks show variable outcomes of protection between bovines and little lasting memory immune response, indicating the need to develop more efficient vaccines. It is widely known that CD4 T cell signalling is essential for developing eff…
